V8RRC

When I put a new steel tank on my 1989 RRC I was asked if I wanted a new tank cradle with it which I did as mine was erm rotting away! The cradle is 2mm thick & fixes on useing the tank fixings so I assume this is what you are refering to

I think I know what you mean as my mate has done something along them lines using one of the L/R cross bars!

As above good bunch! Might pop along myself not sure if it will be in my motor though

Nice one!

The AFFF ones don't seem to badly priced here http://www.cheapfireextinguishers.co.uk/index.asp

If you want a Harrier engine go & look here http://www.everettaero.com/ if you look in the aircraft section they will even sell you a complete Harrier jump jet

I have one of the guards with built in recovery points (see below) & think it is spot on for the job

Just a thought you could always leave the bumper you have made just as a "bumper" & make something like these for recovery... http://www.mill-services.com/html/recovery_eyes_.html

Hmmm funny you should say that Jim I put it on to show a mate this afternoon & mine did the very same! Looked a bit of a prat when I could not make it work Somebody help Cheers,

Merry Christmas & all the best for the New Year to all users of LR4x4 I would also like to thank everyone who has give me any advice since I have joined the forum & a big thank you to the Mod's for there hard work keeping the site running! All the best, Simon

Nice one Fridge! PMSL

I agree with the above comments & yes it is a fiddley job through the access plate this is how I did mine

What have you done to it now Nige?

Cheers FF for the above info it is much appreciated As said before I will collect all the parts together & do some reading before I fit it so we will be looking spring (ish). I will leave the MS ecu purchase until last, so before I do get one I will see how busy you are I like the job you did fitting the MS in the old lucas box very tidy

Just had a look on Craddocks site & the only loom I can find is "HARNESS FUEL INJECTION TO ENGINE R/R PRC5347" If that is the loom in question they want £249.80 I don't think I will be going for a new one if thats the case Also while I am on Fridge what do you reckon to the pre built MS ECU's from http://www.extraefi.co.uk/ ? Just wondering if you had heard anything bad about them? Yes I know I could build the ecu myself but when I do go for it I am tempted to buy a pre built & tested ecu to speed the job up! Cheers,

Ahh I see Just wondering as my old engine would want a lot of work to put it right & that has cutouts! But I have a new army re-con that has done about 600 miles since being re-built but no cutouts & that is the one I would want to swap to EFi & M/S

Hoss, Unless I missed that bit when I read through what did you do regarding the cutouts in the heads?

Nothing is set in stone & I don't plan on doing it until the spring so I will have to look into it then & have a read about the MS & if things are that simple I will go for the MS from the word go B) So you are saying it is easier to use the flapper loom over the hotwire one then due to it being more basic? If thats the case I must look for a serviceable loom as the old flapper one got ditched due to the wires being in a general poor state!

Excellent thanks Fridge the 3rd option will be the ultimate goal which I would like to work towards B)

Not wanting to hijack the thread but my old flapper efi system was pants (several faulty bits) so at presant I am running carb's on the engine! I have also been told the 3.9 hotwire system is better so is there any problem with putting a hotwire system from a 3.9 on a 3.5 or will it over fuel it since it is off a larger engine? Any comments welcome as I am in the dark with this one! Thank's

Nice one Nige Glad you got there in the end!

Rog, I replaced my crossmember just over a year ago! I took several measurements then chopped the old one out But on assembly nothing seemed to have moved so I tacked it into place then re-checked it & all seemed well so it was welded in & all turned out ok in the end The job took most of a day to strip it all out & a day & a bit to replace & put all the other bits back on It is quite a straight forward job but I think the key is to take your time & don't rush! Good Luck,

Found this while surfing & thought I would pop it on here http://www.siliconchip.com.au/cms/A_103662/article.html

Ian, Is this the effect of cavitation? Regards,
